      MadCatZA,

      from my experience with the package, it works only on pfSense Version 2.1.5 or older. As far as I remember, the author has written in this forum about it.

      Regards
      yarick123

      Appreciated, I have setup a 2.1.5 box and indeed it is working as compared to 2.2.2 which is not without manual modifications. What a shame :(

        any change to update to postfix 2.11 without waiting for pfsense 2.3?
        I want to implement dnssec and dane…

        //edit: mah... openssl 0.9.8 is a bummer, too.

            The author of this package said, maybe it will fixed in pfSense version 2.3 with pkgng.

            https://redmine.pfsense.org/projects/pfsense/roadmap#2.3

            So don't hold you breath, it can take some time…

              it's pretty easy to get it running with the current version without the sqlite/db thing… just search through the forum.

                Uhhh, if this package is broken, why is it still listed in pfSense 2.2?

                My pfSense shows this:
                Postfix Forwarder Release 2.4.2
                platform: 2.2    2.2.999

                Or is this some automatic thing, with the 2.2.999 meaning it has not been officially tested?

                Hi, I'm Lance Boyle, and people often wonder if I'm real.

                  The only workaround I found for this is

                  • install package from pfsense gui

                  • go to console, remove pbi packages(not the gui)

                  • Install postfix package via pkg ng

                  The main postfix binary works fine but all other sub process it starts die with missing libs.

                  I don't know if writing a guide to use pkg ng will help or add a lot of extra problems.

                  The main problem with this(and many others) package is that pbi messes up bin and lib location. I have the gui fixed for sqlite2 /sqlite3 but for now, just removing pbi and installing postfix pkg will keep postfix working on 2.2
                  If I push the gui fix for 2.2 on github, it will broke package gui on 2.1

                      Hello,
                      What is the stable version of pfSense where Postfix Forwarder works perfectly?

                      I'm tryna the pfSense 2.2.4-RELEASE (amd64) with Postfix 2.4.2 Forwarder, but not this cool not.

                      Hugs.

                              first of all, great work =)

                              so… 2.1 is old/out of production already, right?

                                pfsense 2.1, yes but the package is working on both(2.1 normal install and on 2.2 with the fix above).

                                  Marcelloc, why not to make on the contrary - on pfsense 2.2  normal install, and on pfsense 2.1 with the fix?
                                  It will move more people to update to version 2.2

                                      I tried the above in 2.2.4 but I had no luck. Can anybody confirm this is working in the latest version of pfSense?

                                        Yes, it's working for sure.

                                        Do not forget to install the package via gui before the steps above…

                                          Hello,I follow step to remove old postfix.

                                          rm -f /usr/pbi/bin/libexec/postfix
                                          rm -f /usr/local/etc/postfix
                                          rm -f /var/spool/postfix
                                          rm -f /var/mail/postfix
                                          rm -f /var/db/postfix
                                          pkg install postfix

                                          And reinstall postfix and postfix forwarder.
                                          The same settings but it's will show relay access denied when mail incoming.
                                          How to fix it?
